Kevin De Bruyne is missing from Manchester City's squad to face Brentford because he is not fully fit.
While many expected Pep Guardiola to ring the changes at the Community Stadium, few expected his talismanic Belgian to miss out altogether. De Bruyne has been instrumental in helping City secure their third straight Premier League crown.
Guardiola announced seven changes on his team sheet from the side who drew 1-1 at Brighton. Big hitters such as Rodri, Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland are on the bench but there is no place in the squad for De Bruyne.
